Syllabus

Medium of instruction followed are Kannada and English for the schools affiliated under the state board

The state syllabus is dependent on the government of that particular state. For each state, a separate education board would be available. The syllabus would then be decided by them as per the normal standards. The state syllabus gives more importance to practical implication of related subjects. For each state, the individual state board established by its government takes care of the designing and monitoring of the standards of education and examination in that state. The study syllabus for schools in that state is decided by this board and the mode of instruction here, unlike CBSE where in it is only English or Hindi, can be English or the Regional language of the state. Also, while CBSE prefers to offer education in a scientific and national exposure, almost all state boards focus more concepts of local importance. the policies and programs setup by State boards relate to only the schools registered with them in that particular state. Each state board works according to a syllabus designed and categorized by the ‘Department of Education’ of the state government which may or may not change in the next academic year. In case a student needs to change his/her residence from one state to another, he might face some major challenges in shifting from one style and mode of education to another because the two states would follow different curriculum.

Value

India is home to multiple boards of education such as CBSE, CICSE and State Board. This diversity has caused a great deal of difficulty and confusion among both students and parents. The anxiety is further compounded when students start seeking admissions in universities for their undergraduate education as the quota for each board varies from state to state and university to university.

International recognition: Indian students in general do very well in USA, UK etc. as the curriculum in these countries are less demanding when compared with Indian board’s education system.

Undergraduate admissions: For engineering, students have to write various entrance exams to gain admissions in universities across India. For few other courses, there are no entrance exams and admissions are based on 12th board results. The admissions requirements and quota varies from state to state. Some states give more importance to students from state board systems.

In the long run: Plenty of state board students do phenomenally well in their professional lives. At the end of the day, your abilities and work ethic plays a larger role in life than the board you studied in.
